What's the best treatment for a disc prolapse and does endoscopic spine surgery have any side effects I should worry about
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Endoscopic spine surgery is minimally invasive and reduces recovery time, but it does come with some risks, like nerve injury or complications from anesthesia. Your doctor will help decide if it’s the best option for your disc prolapse.

My mom has been diagnosed with a herniated disc causing leg pain and the doctor recommended L5 S1 surgery. Will this surgery actually fix her problem or are there other risks we should know about? Also, what's the usual cost for this kind of procedure?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, and my doctor recommended surgery. I get frequent headaches and neck pain, plus it's hard to turn my head side to side. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments I could try first?
No, surgery isn't always the first option for cervical spondylosis. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain relievers, and lifestyle adjustments are often tried first. Surgery is usually reserved for cases where conservative treatments fail to relieve symptoms or if there are signs of nerve compression or spinal cord damage.
